The IB is a comprehensive curriculum designed to prepare students for liberal arts education at the tertiary level. The mission of the IBO is "to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. In North America over schools offer IB programs.
The IBO offers three programmes:. The programmes form a sequence but can be offered independently according to the needs of individual schools. The IB Diploma is truly international in its philosophy and aims.
The curriculum requires balance and research. For instance, a science student has to become familiar with a foreign language, and a humanities student must understand laboratory procedures. In addition, all candidates for the IB diploma must undertake some extensive research into one of over sixty subjects.
The IB Diploma is accepted at universities in over countries. Parents appreciate the rigorous training and education which the IB programs offer their children. A school doesn't commit to preparing students for these rigorous examinations lightly.
Expert, well-trained faculty must implement and teach the courses which culminate in those examinations. They put a school's reputation squarely on the line. It boils down to two things: credibility and universal acceptance. These are key factors in a school's graduates gaining admission to the colleges and universities which they wish to attend.
College admissions officers usually have a pretty good idea of a school's academic standards if the school has previously submitted applicants. The school's track record is more or less established by those prior candidates. Grading policies are understood.
Curriculum taught has been examined. But what about a new school or a school from a foreign country or a school which is determined to upgrade its product?
The AP and IB credentials immediately convey credibility. The standard is well-known and understood. Other things being equal, the college knows that a candidate with success in the AP or IB is ready for tertiary level work. The payoff for the student is exemption for many entry-level courses. This, in turn, means that the student gets his or her degree requirements completed more quickly. It also means fewer credits have to be paid for. Flexibility is a major factor in determining which program is right for you.
AP courses provide more wiggle room when it comes to choosing courses, the order in which they are taken, and more. Advanced Placement Programs. Foreign Countries. High School Students. Student Attitudes. Teacher Attitudes. Qualitative Research. Teaching Methods.
